mystery engine

[slimonster1]

i have an older style go kart and there is a yellow engine on it , i have no idea make nor model as there is no model number on it the unit has a pulse jet carb attached to the tank another question i would like to know is there any way of removing this carb config and use an off engine tank connected via a fuel pump instead as the old tank is leaking

Briggs And Stratton. Look carefully on the sheetmetal for numbers.

i took this thing apart i figured it was a briggy do to how well it has been running mostly starts without even pulling the choke but as of late its not running so well backfires a bit surges at full throttle sometimes without knowing what engine this is i cant repair it aside from perhaps a carb swap

Looked in sheet metal in the cylinderr head .nothing

Its usually on the blower housing. Look above the flywheel or on the side of it, near the carb.

if it has points ignition might just need a lil cleanning. if it had sat awhile moisture and dirt will set in on your contacts causing it to fire off side..backfiring irractic idle. its easy to test just take a nail file put it between the contacts of the points and use the pressure of the spring to clean them. just moving the nail file outwards. clean real good with strips of paper or a real good clean rag should run like a champ

looked all over the darn thing and have not found it yet ill try removing the engine when i can get two of the engine bolts off , they stripped and keep turning without unscrewing saved the kart from rusting out in the texas rain

seeing as how the tank has a small seem leak and the carb is okay ish i wonder if i can swap to a better carb instead of the pulse carb ? if not can someone tell me where i can find it i think this is or er was a 5 hp b and s engine would not mind gettng a new carb/ tank but if i can use a diffrent type say one similure to the gx series carbs witha fuel pump that would be wonderful i doubt it seeing as it is an older engine but insite would be good , also thank you guys for the help
